ONSITE3(TM), a leading global provider of eForensics, eDiscovery,
eReview and consulting services offering one source litigation support
for law firms and corporations, today announced that it has been added
to the U.S. Department of Commerce's Safe Harbor List, demonstrating
to ONSITE3's clients that its practices conform with the Safe Harbor
framework developed by the U.S. Department of Commerce and the
European Commission regarding "adequate protection" for personal data
from Europe as required by the European Union's Directive on Data
Protection.
Developed as a solution to the unique approaches to data privacy
between the United States and European Union, conformance with the
Safe Harbor framework enables U.S. companies to lawfully transfer
personal data outside of the European Economic Area (EEA) such as
might be needed to address time-sensitive e-discovery requests under
the recently amended Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Without
conformance, delays in the transfer of data could arise as a result of
European privacy laws.
"With a continuing trend for increasingly global business
operations not only for large corporations but also for mid-size and
smaller organizations, ONSITE3's Safe Harbor policy provides an added
level of assurance and flexibility for our clients who conduct
operations subject to European privacy laws," said Mark Hawn, chief
executive officer. "In addition to our existing capability to collect
and process data on-location in Europe, ONSITE3 -- as demonstrated by
its certification -- has the flexibility to support client requests
for projects in which data needs to be transferred and processed at
our secure facilities within the United States."
In accordance with its Safe Harbor Certification, ONSITE3 has
developed a Safe Harbor Data Privacy Policy that addresses each of the
Safe Harbor Privacy Principles developed by the U.S. Department of
Commerce and the European Commission. The ONSITE3 Safe Harbor Data
Privacy Policy is available online at
